I’ve had a pleasantly busy couple of weeks…busy coming and going…and banging up my foot…and having company. Well, the banging of the foot wasn’t so pleasant, but all of Steven’s good care and help was wonderful! Anyway, here is a picture of the boot, for those that have been asking. This was taken at an amazing “junk” sale last Saturday…more about that later!
Although the month isn’t quite gone, it feels like I’ve lost some of it, at least on the blog here. We have a hymn that says, “life passes like a dream”. This month has been a very beautiful dream, at any rate. New workers, new gospel meetings, new babes, beautiful days, peace and rest, swimming at the ARF center, very satisfying work, sweet companions, tasty apples and sewing!
Did some fall camping before it turned so chilly!
The hike-in campsites at Ledges State Park are awesome! The “hike” was only about a 3 minute walk, but you really got the feeling of being “back to nature”!
Seems like I am never quite ready for fall when it arrives and every year I am surprised again by the little quirky things that have to be dealt with, like:
figuring out whether or not you need a coat or a sweater and if so, whether you should have long sleeves or short sleeves underneath the outer garment, having to pour hot water into the coffee mug in the morning because the cupboards get chilly over night, fumbling back and forth between hot/cool and defrost/vent/heater/airconditioning in the car, having to allow extra time in the mornings to defrost or defog the car windows, wearing a scarf and gloves and then trying to remember not to leave them behind at meeting, needing to use my inhaler when I walk outside in the chilly air, trying to remember that it could still be late when I wake up even though it’s still dark outside, AND the perennial kicker – getting a slow start on the day and then not having as much light at the end of the day as you’d like.
Ahhhhwellll, I’ll adjust pretty soon hopefully! How is your fall going? (or spring, depending on what hemisphere you inhabit!)
